Akira, well seen and captured. I for one would be too blond to have even seen a photo here.
Having said that - I find a couple of things distracting - but those are my nits and I am sometimes just picky

Lovely combination of shape and colour movement.

Thanks, guys, for stopping by and commenting!

Elsa, I think I hear you, and would agree on some nit-picks.  However, the interesting light and shape were irresistible in this case.  :)

As you already sensed, the color temperture, hue, vibrance and saturation were tweaked to enhance the color casts of incandescent and fluorescent lightings.

Lovely photo Akira. Looks like a duck or swan :)

First I sqw the colors, then the shape, and finally the repeated shape  (in the shadow, top right and bottom left). Bottom line: an austere scene can make a good shot.

Jakov, thanks.  I like images that inspire different interpretations.

Airy, I'm a strong believer of the simplicity, although I sometimes enjoy complicated stuff, too.

Akira - yes I agree those  color temperture, hue, vibrance and saturation must be tweaked - and I can see many more possibilities just playing with those - but I like the ones you chose. I must admit that was the first thing I saw about the image - and liked.

Elsa, thanks again.  I like this this color coordination of lime green and orange.
